Take a moment

Take a minute to count how many people you know right now who have memory loss  to the degree they are ending up in memory care.  A few years ago it would have been not many.  Now it seems to be running rampant. A few years ago it was not so prevalent, now you can probably name at least three or four. Why and why now when there are so many things with which to deal. So many people are not preparing for this, putting off starting a fund for this disaster. Those who are not prepared have to wait until their insurance pays for it, but now these companies are picky about what they will finance. So the ones who need it are sitting waiting for the unknown along with everything else that is scaring them to death. I can name four searching for places to spend their remaining years right now, some are prepared money- wise and some are not. Of course it is not the actual victim searching, they are beyond that, it's the family and if you don't have a good close family you are way out of luck. This is a wake up call.  Get your policies out and read the fine print. Prepare while you can and then enjoy the rest of your days on earth.
